UMS
becomes the first Media and Communication Company to be awarded
the OPAL CVC
United Media Services (UMS), the leading Media and Communication
Company of Oman announced that all its operations, which includes
advertising, publishing and media marketing, web and multimedia,
distribution and logistics support has received the Compliance
Verification Certificate awarded by OPAL, the prestigious Oman
Society of Petroleum Services.
The United Media Services team achieved certification after an
extensive audit of the company's employment and business
processes. OPAL CVC Certification quantifies the effectiveness of
QHSE, employment practices and Omanisation based upon a stringent
set of performance standards and represents best practices within
the Omani economy.
"As a Renaissance Services company, UMS follows QHSE and Business
Practices that are standardised for efficiency, performance and
Omani and Global value systems," said Ashok Sardiwal, Chief
Operating Officer of Renaissance Services.
The OPAL CVC endorses that the certified company is compliant with
the OPAL Code of Practice in terms of its Training Initiatives,
Employment Practices, QHSE, Business Practices, Quality Assurance,
Community Engagements and Omanisation. Its purpose is to develop a
recognized quality certification for the mentioned code of
practice and to provide a method of benchmarking for these
practices. OPAL CVC Certification requires comprehensive audits to
confirm that companies meet the requirements of more than 20
business elements defined in the CVC verification program.
"Achieving the OPAL Certification in the first attempt and being
the first Media and Communication Company to do so illustrates our
commitment to make the needs of our people and clients our highest
priority. It challenges us to constantly build upon on our support
practices in order to exceed expectations and maintain yearly
certification," said Sandeep Sehgal - General Manager, UMS.
As per the OPAL requirement, UMS has laid out an extensive
programme to involve young Omanis in its operations. With the two
prestigious projects for Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry and
for OPAL in hand and the regular local clients like Shell Oman,
Oman Air, Saud Bahwan, National Detergent Company, and publishing
titles like Oman Economic Review and Al Mara, young Omani
nationals are being inducted for training and then getting
absorbed in the system.
Established in 1988, UMS is one of Oman's largest media
establishments with leadership positions in Advertising,
Publishing and Media marketing, Web and interactive multimedia,
Distribution and Logistic Support. As a professional communication
company, UMS provides creative and strategic solutions derived
from its inborn understanding of markets, people, branding,
business, culture, aesthetics, and media. TISCO, another company
under Renaissance Services also won the certificate a few days
earlier.
